The most important process in all of educational testing
What is validity?
People may argue about this incorrect test label.
What is valid or invalid?
The first step in the validation process.
What is identifying and assembling evidence on accuracy?
The number of reliability indicators.
What is three?
Synonym for consistency
What is reliability?
If an assessment is given to evaluate, it must be accompanied by evidence of this.
What is evidence of the test's instructional sensitivity?
Step 3 proposes validity argument based on this.
What are Steps 1 and 2?
The stability with which a test measures.
What are test-retest reliability coefficients?
Terms that describe the nature of assessment validity
What is an inference and an interpretation?
People may confuse these test indicators.
What are reliability and validity?
High stakes educational tests incorporate this model to support their argument.
What is the Three Step Educational Test's Validity Argument?
This type of evidence indicator deals with the reliability of two equivalent forms of an assessment.
What is alternate form reliability?
Evidence that a test discriminates between well and poorly taught students.
What is instructional sensitivity?
Reliability coefficients are better for this type of test of teacher-made classroom tests.
The step in which the degree to which a test-taker's score correctly contributes to accomplishing the assessment's purpose.
What is step 2?
This occurs when a test's items all measure the same thing.
The result of this computation is described as a test-retest reliability coefficient.
What is a correlation coefficient?
A test creator would not want to see this type of consistency coefficient if their test was intended to measure different skills.
What is a strong, positive internal consistency coefficient?
This must be prepared so that those who will use a test may consider its appropriateness of use.
What is a validation argument?
This type of reliability evidence is used more frequently than the others.
